Answer:
The level of compaction in Eukaryotes from naked DNA to the most compact is:
d. nucleosome, solenoid, looped chromatin (300-nm fiber), metaphase chromosome
Explanation:
As we know that the
- Diameter of DNA is 2 nm.
- Diameter of nucleosome is 11 nm.
- Diameter of solenoid is 30 nm.
- Diameter of looped chromation is 300 nm
- Diameter of meta-phase chromosome is 1400 nm
All of these facts depict that the the least compact is DNA and most compact is meta-phase chromosome.
Answer:
Explanation:
A scientific researcher performs scientific methods to answer any natural process. The researcher will follow the protocol of a scientific method which includes: observe the natural phenomenon, ask related questions, suggest a hypothesis, perform the experiment and suggest answers.
In the given question if the researcher has to study about the flu virus, the possible questions he would ask will be:
1. The life cycle of the flu virus.
2. Effect of the virus on the life of an organism.
3. The mechanism used by the virus to replicate and to infect any organism.
4. Molecular mechanism of a virus.
The energy source of the sperm for them to swim is the protein breakdown by mitochondria in the midpiece of the sperm.
Mitochondria are double membrane-bound organelles found in the cells. It is said to be the "powerhouse of the cell". They provide ATP as a source of chemical energy for the cells.
Answer:
Explanation:
Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.
pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD
The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.
If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme. <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.
